Which reminds me of the scene in Niven & Pournelle's "Inferno" (possibly a scene from Dante's original, which I haven't read) where the protagonist gets to the wall of the inner part of Hell, and finds the gates have been bodily ripped from their hinges. He's told that Jesus single-handedly did that on His expedition to set the captives free. The protagonist has something of a paradigm shift without a clutch trying to reconcile that with the Eurowimp depiction of Jesus that he's familiar with in those infamous paintings.

If this is true, what does "Jesus" mean?
Jesus is nothing more than the Greek version of the name Joshua.
